The climate crisis is a health crisis; it drives extreme weather and is taking lives around the world.


Floods, wildfires, drought and the onslaught of extreme weather are driving a global health crisis that must be put at the center of climate action, the World Health Organization said on Tuesday.
“The climate crisis is a health crisis; it drives extreme weather and is taking lives around the world,” Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, head of the WHO, said. “Melting ice caps and rising sea levels are, of course, crucial issues, but for most people they are distant threats in both time and place. The threats of our changing climate are right here and right now.”
Tedros was speaking at a New York climate week event on links between global health and the climate crisis. The Cop28 climate summit in Dubai in December will hold a global health day for the first time, where health issues in the context of the climate crisis will be discussed.

      Climate impacts on health range from mild to severe and from acute to chronic.
